Title: Best setup
Post by: Coccobill on December 11, 2009, 06:37:00 PM

Proud owner of a Martin Hatfield #55 28". As many decided to give traditional archery a try. I need a suggestion for a setup. Attached quiver, arrows (possibly a choice of wood and carbon).
Thank you for your help

Could you measure your draw length with this bow? Arrow choices are many depending on your draw length. AS far as quivers-personal choice.

My 55# bows all like 60-65# POC shafts pretty well, with a 28" draw.

Coccobill,  have you shot recurves before?  55# is heavy to start with, even if you shot a heavier compound.  You may be overbowed to start out in real archery and that could confound the  process and prevent learning proper form.
